WHO IS GIORGIO? 
by 
 
Giorgio  Solo Climbing to the Aconcagua - February 2009
 
I have just 1 life...I don't want to look behind me and say: "If I did it"...Enjoy day by day of your life and try to realize all your dreams and if you cannot...you'll be able to say...I did my best!
Ciao to all :o) 
 
I was born in Palermo....yes...the town of the Godfather but believe me....I have no relationship with him...if I had...I could have a big chain of Hotels :o) 
 
I love active life, sports, outdoor life....I was extreme windsurfer, I do skiing, climbing, hiking....and anything can give me some great feeling...I love photography....but... 
 
...First of all I am a traveler...I travelled a lot during my life (and of course...I continue to travel ;o) .....I slept anywhere during my travels,Hostels, Hotels, Bed and Breakfast, tents....beaches, bridges :o)  but most of the time I missed the authenticity of the places (except for the beaches and bridges :o)...Nice smiles, sometimes very nice places but I missed the "feeling"...That's why, one day,  I decided to offer what I would like to get when I travel...the main focus on the hospitality, the courtesy, the authenticity...feel like at home but with the traditions of the country you visit. Having someone discret next to you, that takes care of you not because you are "money" but because you are you. 
 
That's why I decided to create Giorgio's House. Giorgio is me but it's also you... 
Everything is made for travellers that, like me, loves to be treated as a person and not as a wallet or just a number. People that don't mind if the room has no  Lcd Wide Tv Screen cause they prefer to get a wide smile on the face of the person that will take care of them.... 
 
Giorgio's House website was created with the same exigencies...It's simple, funny and colourful....Our website is the first filter....Who makes a reservation thru our website most of the time is a traveller like me...People that are different from me, 95% of the times, run away after watching Giorgio's websites...and that's good cause you'll have the 95% of possibility to find someone similar to you at Giorgio's House ....The friendly atmosphere (like a Family House) and people with the same travel philosophy that can meet each other and maybe become friends...that's what I love....  I am a person that likes fun and simple life...it doesn't matter how much money you have....simplicity is deep in your heart and a simple person can feel good next to anyone...doesn't matter the social position, the colour of the skin, the job etc....This type of persons are the Guests I wish... 
 
And now....some funny statistics :o) 
 
Till now I made: 8.500 coffees, 3.500 Teas , 5.300 beds. For Breakfast: 18.900 Croissants, 920 Kg of Salty food, 1800 liters of juices, 315 Kg of Bread, 98 Kg of Jam.....etc.etc.etc...... :o)) 
1.120 Palermo Tours (for free), 260 Day Trips around Sicily + Trekkings (for free)....etc.etc.etc :o)) 
 
See you soon :o)
